to prepare your bugaboo frog seat<br />
Prepare your <strong>Bugaboo</strong> <strong>Frog</strong> seat by attaching the seat cover and the carry handle to the seat/bassinet<br />
frame. The seat/bassinet frame can also be used with the bassinet liner, but the bassinet liner must be<br />
removed before you can use it as a seat. To do this, carry out the instructions in Section C in reverse order.<br />
Fitting the seat cover to the seat/bassinet frame<br />
1 Stand the seat/bassinet frame as shown in Diagram C.<br />

connected, as the frame can flex slightly. Then position the seat onto the side. Bend the seat/bassinet<br />
frame inwards by pushing on the side of the seat/bassinet frame (see red arrow B). Pull the ties and position<br />
the O-ring over the projecting pin (see red arrow C).<br />

F<br />
to use the seat freestanding and on the chassis<br />
Your <strong>Bugaboo</strong> <strong>Frog</strong> seat is designed to carry one child who weighs less than 37 pounds. When using<br />
your <strong>Bugaboo</strong> <strong>Frog</strong> freestanding, put the backrest in the semi-reclining position. When using the seat on the<br />
chassis, the backrest can be adjusted to sitting, semi-reclining and reclining positions, and the angle between<br />
the backrest and the seat of your <strong>Bugaboo</strong> <strong>Frog</strong> seat unit will remain constant. With infants younger than six<br />
months, do not use the seat in the sitting position. Use it only in the reclining and semi-reclining position, and<br />
then for not more than two hours at a time.<br />
Seat used freestanding with backrest in semi-reclining position<br />

The rain cover protects your child from rain and wind. Attach it to the foot end of the seat/bassinet frame over<br />
the sun canopy. Remove the textile from the sun canopy to give your child an unobstructed view. The rain<br />
cover has a prefixed rib; slide the holes on either end of it across the pins sticking out on the side of the<br />
seat/bassinet frame. At the front of the rain cover is an air vent; for optimal ventilation ensure that the hook &<br />
loop fastener strips of the air vent meet well when pressed together.<br />
